Cottage House 798 Square is a compact residential design providing 798 square feet of heated living space. Measuring 33 feet wide by 32 feet deep, this one-story home is optimized for narrow or small-lot construction. The exterior features a prominent covered front porch spanning 132 square feet, which serves as the primary entry point and extends the usable living area into the outdoor environment.
The interior utilizes an open-concept floor plan to maximize the 798 square foot footprint. The central core integrates the kitchen, dining, and living areas into a single, cohesive space to enhance sightlines. A kitchen island anchors the workspace, providing additional surface area for meal preparation while maintaining visibility across the main living zone. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration ensures privacy, with one bedroom featuring a dedicated walk-in closet for efficient storage.
With 8-foot ceiling heights throughout, the design maintains consistent vertical proportions that contribute to the interior's open feel. The home's total footprint, including the porch, reaches 930 square feet. The structure is built with 2x4 exterior wall framing and rests on a slab foundation, prioritizing construction efficiency and material accessibility. These structural choices support a straightforward building process while ensuring long-term durability.
The exterior profile is defined by a 17-foot-6-inch maximum building height and dual roof pitches of 8:12 and 6:12. This roof geometry provides a traditional aesthetic while effectively shedding water and maintaining a low-profile presence on the site. The combination of a compact square footage and a simplified roofline minimizes the complexity of the building envelope, making this design a practical choice for residential development.
